After giving up 113 points in a loss to the worst team in the NBA, Magic fans are seething and the player that seems to catch most of their wrath is Channing Frye. 

After chatting with quite a few fans on Twitter it became quite clear that Magic fans are fed up with Channing Frye. I myself have become quite disenchanted with Frye to say the least.

The issue here is all the blame cannot be put on Frye can it? With this in in mind I decided to re-watch the game and write a running diary of every defensive possession involving Frye.

(Note: I do not know what Orlando’s defensive scheme is exactly, or what their scouting reports suggested they do)

Let’s get started!
